Presention on Conflict and Barriers to Interpersonal Effectiveness Addressing Inculcated Stereotyping and Prejudice toward RPG

The actual presentation for the course had to be much shorter, but here is the longer earlier draft (with some typos and formatting issues), with far more content than the 7 page one used for the class which relied more on video evidence than text.

Here is the URL for the draft (longer) PDF version of this presentation: http://rpgresearch.com/documents/rpg-research-project/archives/pdf/rpgr-a0013a1-inculcated-stereotyping-and-prejudice-about-rpg-2014-rev-e.pdf

If requested, I can create a web-page version, but will not do so unless at least one person requests.

I welcome feedback and commentary.

Happy Gaming!

A notable excerpt from the presentation updated, regarding the movie "Dark Dungeons":

"Update, October 6th , 2014: I just ran into a self-proclaimed “devout Christian”, who saw the RPG Research sticker on my laptop at a doctor's office. He then regaled me about the dangers and evils of RPG, and that there was now a movie on the Internet illustrating how dangerous it is. From their description it sounded like it was this movie [Dark Dungeons] (they couldn't remember the exact name), and said it was their pastor that had informed him about the movie. Before I could respond to his comments though, he was called into the doctor's office, and he just said “may God save you”. So unfortunately I didn't get a chance to gather more information for future discourse."
